Error installing georasters from pip

[davidalejandro1223]

So, im trying to install georasters from pip and it throws me the next error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement matplotlib-base (from georasters)

I'm using diferent python versions, from 3.5 to 3.8 and nothing. I'm also tried to install matplotlib first but doesnt work either, However instalation from conda enviorments works just fine. there is any fix for instalation from pip?

[ozak]

Strange that you are getting that issue, since that one is only used in conda-forge installs. With pip only matplotlib is required. Is this the latest version on github or the pipy version? I am not sure if pipy is handling correctly the latest version.

Using pipy version throws that previous error, installing github version throws the next one:

i can't use conda environment for what i'm doing, there is any fix for instalation from pip?

[ozak]

That's an rtree issue, so you'd have to check with them about what the error is. pip is always an issue, which is why the conda-forge route is encouraged.

Hey @davidalejandro1223, did you find a solution? I have the very same problem..

[frnsys]

@MouvementMondial I was able to install it from git, i.e. pip install git+https://github.com/ozak/georasters

[ozak]

I guess this means something in the versioning in pipy may be not working correctly. I'll revamp the version number to ensure it is providing the latest version just in case.

I just tried installing today (August 12/2020) and got the matplotlib-base error. I am doing this in the most recent version of WinPython so conda is not an option. Doing the git workaround is also not an option as the computer policies are such that installing Git is not an option.

[ozak]

This was supposedly resolved a while ago. Are you still getting this error?

[volkanyazici]

Hi, I am also having the installation problem. May I know if the program is up to date?

[ozak]

It is up to date. What is your error?

[volkanyazici]

It is up to date. What is your error?

I am sending it as a file because the error code is too long. you can probably observe the errors in the file. https://we.tl/t-xj1pEdkI5z

[ozak]

Is there a reason you cannot use conda? The errors you are getting seem to come from the dependencies, not from georasters itself.

[volkanyazici]

No particular reason but it's useless most of the time and I've had problems installing some packages. I just tried to install georasters package on conda but still getting errors.

[ozak]

Strange. I just created a new environment using

conda create --name georasters -c conda-forge python=3.9 georasters

and it worked without any issues. should work with any other versions of python<=3.9. Haven't tested with 3.10, but as long as underlying packages work, it should work also.

[volkanyazici]

I reinstalled Anaconda and open a new environment. After all, it works now. Thanks.
